* AmbiguousGender: Cecily Newman (the player), though the name implies the character is female (or meant to be). [[spoiler: According to the "Recollection Ending", Cecily is female.]]

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Cecily is about four hours old, however, this is justified, as they're [[spoiler:a robot host body.]]
